If you’ve ever dived into both astrology and Tarot, you may have noticed something curious: - In astrology, the Moon rules Cancer. - In Tarot, The Moon card is linked to Pisces. So which one is “right”? The answer is both, but for different reasons. Let’s unpack it. 🌙 Astrology: The Moon and Cancer Astrology’s rulerships go back thousands of years to Babylonian, Greek, and Hellenistic traditions. Each planet was assigned to a zodiac sign (or two) based on essential qualities and cosmic order. The Moon rules Cancer because they mirror each other in symbolism: - Nurturing and protective energy - Emotional depth and sensitivity - Cycles and rhythms (lunar phases, ocean tides, fertility) - Roots, family, and home In astrology, the Moon is the inner world—our needs, feelings, and instinctual responses. Cancer embodies that same archetype, which is why the Moon belongs there. 🎴 Tarot: The Moon and Pisces The Tarot is a much younger system. While playing cards go back to the 14th century, the astrological correspondences most readers use today were mapped in the 19th century by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In this system, the Major Arcana were aligned with astrology, numerology, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The Moon (card XVIII) was paired with Pisces, not Cancer. Why Pisces? Because the symbolism fits: - Dreams, illusions, and spiritual veils - Mysticism and hidden truths - Confusion, uncertainty, and imagination - Sensitivity and receptivity to unseen worlds Pisces is the dreamer and mystic of the zodiac, the sign where reality and imagination blur. That makes it the perfect match for the dreamlike, mysterious imagery of The Moon card. ✨ Why the Difference? Here’s the key: astrology and Tarot weren’t originally designed as one unified system. They overlap now, but they grew from different traditions. 1. Astrology’s Moon = Cancer→ Based on rulerships established thousands of years ago in classical astrology. 2. Tarot’s Moon = Pisces→ A much later esoteric overlay, chosen by the Golden Dawn to emphasize illusion, dreams, and mysticism.
